Kakamas To some the town's name originates from the Khoi word, "gagamas" (brown), referring to the red clay of the area with which women daub their faces. To most, though, Kakamas is a Koranna word meaning "poor pasture" and "vicious, charging ox". Legend has it that grazing in the vicinity was poor and, when cattle were driven through the river's drifts, some sonsistently turned on their drivers. Today, the name reflects poorly on a fertile valley in the Lower Orange River, graced with vineyards, cotton and lucern fields. The drought of 1895-97 was followed by an outbreak of rinderpest, leaving many farmers destitute.

Die brûe by Upington en Kakamas is steeds oop en teen gister laat was daar nog nie sprake dat dit toegemaak sou word nie. Water het vroegaand aan die laagliggende ingangspunte van die voetgangerbrug begin knibbel. Read More... Upington and Surrounding Area    WOORDE VLOEI SOOS RIVIERWATER Net soos die groot verskeidenheid landbougewasse wat uit die vrugbare grond langs die magtige Oranje spruit duik letterkundige meesterstukke al vir dekades soos papirusplante langs die Nyl op. Menigte skrywers het al probeer om die unike karakter van die river en sy mense op papier vas te lê, maar dit sit nie in enigeen se broek om die mense van die Groot Gariep te verstaan nie, wat nog te sê van verwoord..
